botulism

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. Botulism Campylobacteriosis
2. Food-borne and wound botulism
3. Isolation of C. botulinum for infant botulism (stool) or wound botulism (wound) (isolation of C. botulinum in stool of adults not relevant for the diagnosis of food-borne botulism)
4. According to the European Communicable Disease Bulletin, Eurosurveillance, of January 1999, which is a special issue on botulism in Europe, botulism is very rare in Denmark.
5. It stresses that the same preservation of meat products, ensuring there are no outbreaks of botulism, relies upon a complex interaction between a number of factors including not only nitrites but also salt, pH and temperature control.
6. Nitrites have been used in meat and meat products for many decades, inter alia, to secure, in conjunction with other factors, the preservation and microbiological safety of meat products, in particular cured meat products, inhibiting, amongst other things, the multiplication of Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria responsible for life-threatening botulism.
7. The above conclusions are based on the currently available information and, in particular, on figures indicating that Denmark has been able to control botulism despite lower maximum levels of nitrite added to particular types of meat products, while not disrupting trade in a disproportionate fashion.
8. The data collected should focus in particular on the control of botulism, the share of meat products covered by the 60 mg/kg limit in the overall consumption of meat products in Denmark, including any other risk factor of typical dietary habits as relevant, as well as imports of meat products from other Member States.
